The Battle of Megiddo

50 mins

May 19,1458 BC. A rebel Syrian warlord challenges the might of Egypt. On a plain below the city of Megiddo, the two greatest armies the ancient world has ever seen prepare to fight.

The chronicle of this epic struggle was carved into the stone walls of the Temple of Karnak over three and a half thousand years ago. It records how a pampered prince was transformed by war - and turned his kingdom into an empire. He became Egypt's greatest warrior Pharaoh, Tuthmosis III.
